Clan N

Reina: „Akira, come on, why do you wear such dark clothes?“ Akira: „….“ Reina: „ You have a mouth to speak!“ Akira: „….“ Daiki: „You can try as long as you want, he will not say a word!“ Reina: „Shut up, Daiki. Get your sake and be quiet!“ Tarou: „Reina!!!“ Reina: „ Yes, Master Tarou.“ Tarou: „ Akira, is a Ninja. Ninjas are silent Assassins. And he will help us, so dont bother him anymore! We have an ancient Enemy to defeat! Lets go!“ Well, i just saw the Heroes of Clan N and i could write a story of them. 4 Different Heroes come together to stand united agains one evil Foe, who wants to destroy and conquer everything. Nothing new today. But why does it always have to be new, when old things can work also? So, welcome to CLAN N. Many Years ago there was a time in which coop Beat`em ups were very popular. Games like FINAL FIGHT, STREETS OF RAGE, DOUBLE DRAGON or the legendary GOLDEN AXE Games came from this Era. Over the Years it became more quiet, but never lost their fans. CLAN N is a take on this Times and also more. It is not only a very nice coop Hack Beat em Up, no, it also take a bow to the Graphics and Sounds of it. Pixel Graphics and simple sound that could have come directly from the Commodore 64 are awaiting you. In times of, lets call it High End Graphics and Sounds, like this, it may not be for everyone. That goes also to the Gameplay. You choose a Hero and simple hack through MANY Hordes of Enemys and Mid and Endbosses. That CAN but don`t MUST be a little bit annoying but that is how the Beat`em Ups work in their golden Era. The Fun was to play with friends and CLAN N gives you the Chance to play with up to 3 more friends. 4 Different Characters that are able to rise their stats and niot to forget Shops where you can also buy Extra Lives. The Hordes of Enemys are different Attackers, know how they attack and you can beat them easily, no matter if they are a few or a horde. Sometimes the Screen got a little bit full but that Game never gets unfair. You have 7 Big Worlds to conquer and not to forget the nice Mini Games on your way. The Boss Monsters can be challenging but also never be unfair. Like in old times, learn their Attackings and you can beat them. Hack uncontrolled on them and you die. CLAN N has a very nice Tutorial that shows you how to Attack, use special Attacks, how to Dodge, simply how to survive. You can play via Keys or via Controller. Normal i play with Keys (and Mouse) but here i prefer the Controller. The quicker you react, the better you got through your Enemys. If you want to taste the good old Times or just want to have fun with your Friends, if you want to experience a very nice bow to an old Genre with nice Pixelgraphics and simple but nice Sound and music this is for you. Choose your Hero and let the Adventure begin. A very big thanks to the Developer, who open the Door to the Past for me, i really, REALLY enjoyed it. Now i hope for friends who will play that with me together. Thank you for reading. [h1][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/26335619-Adult-World-Gamers/] Follow our AWG Curator! [/url][/h1]

During Medieval times, Japan had one of the most fearful combat units, known as the Samurai. Well, one of the Samurai lords during that time was spreading terror throughout the land by destroying all the villages and killing its people in order to acquire their lands. His name was Akuji! But a group of four skilful fighters, known as Clan N (of which Akuji was once a part) would face the tyranny of the Samurai Akuji and take back their lands. You are one of these amazing fighters, and we will be right behind you (a few miles behind you), cheering you on every time you take back a piece of our land. All hail the fantastic four of the Clan N! The Clan N is Retro Action Beat’em up game (single player, local and online co-op) developed by Creamative and published by Maple Whispering Limited (in conjunction with Creamative) on the 6th of August 2020 on Steam. The game is also available on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PS4. The game consists of 7 big stages; at the start of the game you can select to play the short or the full campaign. That will precede the option where you decide whether to launch a local co-op / single-player or online co-op with your friends. There are three levels of difficulty, but interestingly, the developers decided to display the difficulty in the options tab rather than before launching a campaign. From here, you’ll choose one of the four characters available for selection: Akira is a Ninja (super-fast and deadly), Reina has mastered the art of fighting with a staff, her brother Daiki is some sort shaman/samurai, and the last character is Tarou, who is a fighting Monk and is extremely skilful with a scythe. As I mentioned above, the levels are relatively big, and you’ll always be fighting. In fact, every few metres you take, enemies will emerge from the surroundings. What I really like is the variety of incoming foe. You’ll have a minimum of three types of enemy units at the start of each battle; it could be a Samurai armed with a Katana or Kanabo, a mounted Samurai who carries a long sword, Monks, Ninjas or Archers. As you progress through the game, you’ll be fighting large spiders, wolves and skeletons, as well as a few larger units which will be harder to kill. Within each of the stages, you’ll come across a few red houses where you can upgrade your character’s skills or purchase potions for your special attack and extra lives. The other thing you have to keep an eye on is these beige and slightly larger barrels within the stages; they have goodies in them so make sure to break them and pick up the reward. There are mini-games too; one per stage, they are fun and usually have a few goodies to pick up. On the other hand, if you get hit while playing these mini-games, your health will decrease rather quickly. It’s a fantastic retro Beat’em Up game, and all you have at your disposal to move forward is a normal, a strong and a special attack. You’ll also have shuriken, but you’ll use them pretty quickly. However, you can re-stock at the red house or find some in the beige barrels. In terms of evasive actions, you can block an attack, roll or jump away from the closest enemies; that’s basically it, so expect to get hit in every single encounter! Thank God some of the fallen enemy units will drop drumsticks or even an entire chicken after their death. Eat plenty of chickens, they will regenerate a bit of your health with every bite. Then you’ll get to the boss fights, which are usually epic. I played by myself on the normal difficulty and managed to get to the last boss, but couldn’t beat him as I ran out of lives and credits. What I mean by credits is that you can continue your current game 4 times before it’s game over. Each credit will give you 3 lives, but as I mentioned above, you can purchase new lives at the red houses. I had a lot of fun playing this game by myself, but it would definitely be better playing with three other friends, that’s for sure. Lovely pixel graphics; the soundtrack is very Japanese, but ok (you can turn the music on or off if you wish to anyway). In terms of controls, gamepad is the way to go! I did encounter a few sporadic crashes while playing Clan N; some occurred while playing, and others after I continued my campaign (reload). Apart from that, it’s pretty good! Positives: ~~~~~~~ + Lovely pixel graphic environments + 4 characters to play with + Single-player, local and online co-op + 7 stages, including a mini-game and a boss fight + Fun and very addictive gameplay + Achievements Negatives: ~~~~~~~~ - No trading cards as yet - A few sporadic crashes Join the Clan N and defeat the evil Samurai Akuji, either on your own or with friends. A great Retro Beat’em Up game set in Japan, with lovely pixel environments! 7/10 Key provided by the developer/publisher for review purposes. Any opinions expressed are entirely my own!

Had a very hard time putting enough hours into this game to give it a fair review. Call it an unfair review, I guess. Frankly, I only tanked it for a few minutes. I don't state these things as a cruel attempt to diminish it gratuitously, it just really felt lacking. I felt invited by the visuals and its isometric beat'em up premise. The pixel art seemed good enough to send me back, even though it seemed very simplistic and uninspired. After playing it for a few minutes, it just feels visually lazy. Sound design, at least for me, is a key factor of beat'em ups, along with its gameplay. The audio mastering and the sounds in this game are just INCREDIBLY amateur. Not cute and eerie amateurism, like the first couple of Souls games, mind you... just generic and muffled sounding amateurism, really. As for the actual gameplay: I found myself spamming buttons with no sense of satisfaction (bad sound design does not help) as much as I was preemptively dodging attacks just to not get hit, instead of actually building a combat flow of my own. Enemies felt like they were the exact same, even when they had different (at least visually) abilities. Figured I should at least try another characAnd then I quit. I had a joyless time with this game! Maybe if I had given it a proper chance, it would've grown on me but for a genre that instantly offers fun, you expect to feel engaged pretty quickly... Clan N took its time just to keep being incredibly bland and then some.

[h1] 通关后就再也不想碰了 [/h1] 致敬经典街机的清版动作冒险游戏 这原本是一个幸福和谐的村庄，却因为在某天夜晚，邪恶的白发将军带领着手下前来屠村的原因，一下子就被大火烧得一干二净，百姓死的死，残的残，大部分都难以存活，只有4位身怀忍术绝技的英雄勉强幸存了下来。因为寡不敌众的原因，他们不得已暂时撤退，待休息整顿好以后，他们决定再去找白发将军报仇雪恨，阻止并破坏他想要统治世界的美梦。 [h1] 可玩性 [/h1] 1：体验4位不同的角色，7个风格各异的关卡跟7个不同玩法的小游戏，以及挑战7位与众不同的BOSS 2：简单的升级系统，可以提升各角色的基础属性 3：大量的战斗，极少量的探索（也可以说是无） 4：支持最多4人的合作模式，也可单独游玩包含在其中的小游戏 [h1] 游玩感受 [/h1] 作为一款以动作闯关为主要玩法的游戏，其中最为重要的操作手感跟打击感都很不错，丝滑般顺畅，按键简单，玩起来也很容易上手。复古像素的怀旧画风也能让人联想起童年的街机时光，特别是黄红两色代表的血槽，真的很有那味，初体验的时候别提有多兴奋了。不过，这种兴奋感并没有持续多久，消失了不说，还让我产生了厌恶感。 为什么会这样？那是因为本作那又臭又长，重复度奇高的战斗。如何形容呢，答：BOSS一分钟，战斗半小时。听起来有点夸张，实际上就是这样，我来简单解释一下。本人通关大概花费了4小时，按照总流程共7个关卡来计算，相当于平均每一关需要花费玩家34分钟左右，除了BOSS战的4分钟（其实根本用不了这么久），不正好就是30分钟吗？ 对于常见的闯关游戏来说，闯一关30分钟，岂不是血赚？其实不然，当你真正接触到该作时，我相信你在闯关期间会跟我有同样的感觉，你会感叹到为什么关卡会这么长，为什么刚走几步又要开始战斗，为什么还没有到BOSS战之类的，说心里话，比起战斗，我甚至还更喜欢其中的小游戏，或许小游戏才是本体（笑）。 那么这款游戏好玩吗？答：不好玩，起码就单人体验来说，它真的不好玩，我也相信在单人全面战役模式下，能够坚持玩到最后的人一定不会很多，不妨来看看现在的成就解锁情况吧。 [list] [*]教学关80.4% [*]第一关37.2% [*]第二关15.3% [*]第三关 7.1% [*]第四关5.3% [*]第五关4.7% [*]第六关 3.5% [*]第七关2.3% [*]通关成就2.3% [/list] 可以看出来，大部分人在第一关或者第二关结束后就选择了放弃，也不知道我算不算目前第一个坚持到最后的玩家（笑）。 可能作者也考虑到了流程长，重复度高的因素，故将此分为了两类模式-短期竞选跟全面战役。 [list] [*]全面战役：顾名思义，很全面，也很冗长 [*]短期竞选：从名称能猜出来，肯定要短一些 [/list] 通过对比攻略第一关两个模式的用时，我得到了结果：短期竞选的模式下，流程大概会短10分钟左右，这比起全面战役的体验来说，的确要好一些，不过仍然没有从根本上去解决问题，长时间枯燥重复的战斗依然会劝退没耐心的玩家。多添加一些道具，多弄一点意想不到的地形杀场景等等，难道不是会更有趣吗？ 本作游玩难度也不算高，玩家只需要强化攻击力跟蓄力两项能力，便可以轻松平推，那些所谓的必杀技能，闪躲，远程暗器跟格挡技巧的存在感太低，直到通关，本人都没有使用过一次，或许跟普通难度也有关，本作还有困难难度，但是恕我已经没有这个心情和耐心去尝试了! 如此普通的品质，如此较高的售价，除非有小伙伴陪着一起，如果你只想过把单人瘾，一点儿也不推荐你现在购买（等打折吧）。再说，如果你真想怀旧，不是还有三国演义，西游记释厄传，恐龙快打，名将跟惩罚者吗，好玩不说，还免费，它们难道不更香吗？ [quote] 加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ADZZW]爱の榨汁屋[/url]&关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34815366/]爱の鉴赏家[/url]，用爱品鉴世间作品，用心流淌真情实感。 [/quote] [h1] 中规中矩 [/h1] +精美的像素画风，富有东方韵味的配乐 +有趣的细节表现，以及起到良好过渡的小游戏环节 +操作十分流畅，打击感也挺不错 +支持线上多人合作，也可使用远程同乐来联机 -四位角色除了技能不同外，其他地方大同小异 -地图缺少探索性，战斗过于枯燥，重复性极高 -不支持自定义按键，键盘操作反人类，要玩的话请使用手柄

The pixel art is beautiful. The soundtrack is pretty OK. The gameplay is a little grindy and button mashy. I do enjoy some of the little flourishes. It is pretty okay. https://youtu.be/Ax0L5hBegj4

This game is fun to play. Gorgeous environments with a variety of enemies and bosses to combat. There is a awesome feature where you lock-on to the nearest enemy. This is a must-have if you're into beat-em ups although there is platforming thrown in to add something different.

El juego tiene esa sensación de la vieja escuela con ese atractivo del pixel art y lo aborda con el beat ém up retro combinándolo con mucha acción y estrategia, en el cual podremos elegir entre 4 personajes: Akira,Reina,Daiki y Tarou para abrirnos camino a través de los enemigos en el Japón feudal y luchar contra el malvado Akuji, un ex miembro del Clan que descubre poderes místicos y tiene como propósito de un buen político Argentino c.agar de hambre y esclavizar a la gente. la historia es casi inexistente, aunque pensándolo bien en este tipo de juego es lo de menos, lo que importa siempre es el combate, y en el juego es rápido y fluido, por lo que afortunadamente eso funciona bastante bien. El juego se presenta en una combinación de plataforma 2D con escenarios imaginativos y agradables a la vista, el sonido y su música claramente pretende evocar la era que representa el juego y, aunque no sea tan memorable, funciona bastante bien para el propósito del juego. El juego, también presenta una variedad de enemigos, jefes finales y una decente variedad de movimientos de combate: el ataque estándar, especiales y arrojadizos como estrellas. y todos estos ataques los puedes combinar para crear combos efectivos.también puedes encontrar orbes que te permitirán mejorar las habilidades u obtener vidas adicionales. Además el juego presenta minijuegos que debes ir desbloqueando a través de la campaña, la mayoría de las veces son solo relleno, pero ayuda para romper el combate constante, aparte ofrece juego local y en línea, lo que hace mucho más divertido con amigos. en fin es divertido, es rápido y satisfactorio, pueda que no sea perfecto, pero anda en cualquier pc y se puede jugar con amigos hasta 4 jugadores

:-/ it's beautiful. it kinda doesnt work. it's simple and it's fun. that price is inappropriate the visuals are wonderful. the view is close enough to keep everything clear and pulled back to a unique distance, filled to the brim with vanishing horizons and places for enemies to appear from anywhere. musics perfect. the levels are smart with environmental effects and animals wandering through the trees. plenty of barrels to smash. stuff to pick up. upgrades. it videogames nicely it's also a little busted. hopping over some platforms one bot got stuck in a loop getting damaged in the water. i couldnt progress and had to restart. bots wont pick up food to heal. they wont keep themselves alive during the minigames. playing on normal difficulty my three companions were gone by the second level. they gut stuck on things. insignificant stuff like being yanked through the screen onto the next. it at times feels cheap and janky you cant customize controls. the keyboard is setup in a not awesome way. jump is somewhere over there so i only spammed attack which joyfully does get the job done and throwing shurikens is one of the coolest things ive seen in a beat em up. they come out like a machine gun and are perfect for disrupting enemies attacks. attacks that never feel like theyre worth dodging or doing anything else for. just eat some chicken and move on. it's not boring but it does drag itself out i bought it on sale. the dev broadcasting 24/7 (right now as i write this) had a lot to do with that. it looks fun. with others im sure it is. ill never know what streets of rage really feels like. it was burned into me long ago. i can play it in the hour it takes to beat a million times more, and it's just two buttons. clan n is great but it's not convincing me to keep going. it's really well made and it needs more making

《Clan N》是一款致敬街机清版过关游戏的作品，游戏支持多人在线共同游玩。本作共有7个大关，流程不算很长，操作方式也相对简约。 [h1] 剧情 [/h1] 和街机一样只有个过场，不过大概也能猜出来。和平的村庄遭到了白发boss的袭击，在一片狼藉中，4名身怀绝技的忍者站了出来。为了能够为村民报仇，4人追寻着boss的手下开始了冒险。 [h1] 玩法 [/h1] 人物有3种攻击方式，近战攻击分为轻攻击和重攻击，两种攻击组合可以打出一些比较简单的连段。重攻击可以蓄力，蓄力攻击打中会触发连斩，打断能力比较强。远程攻击是丢手里剑，有数量限制，在关卡中可以获得补充。4名忍者各有一个忍术，分别对应地火风雷4个属性，使用忍术需要消耗能量，能量最多积蓄4格，关卡中的葫芦道具可以补充能量，释放忍术消耗的能量越多，判定和威力也就越强。其余还有跳跃和格挡，操作难度比较小，很容易就能上手。 [h1] 体验 [/h1] 游戏共有3个模式，实际上没什么区别。一个是正常的模式，第二个是加长版模式，通关时间会比正常模式更长。第三个是小游戏模式，在每一关里都会有一个躲避类小游戏，可以在游戏过程中获得补给品，在前两个模式解锁过的小游戏会收录在第三个模式中。正常模式下里一关大约20分钟左右，和普通的清版动作街机游戏差不多。游戏的关卡设计比较简单，除了小游戏外几乎是高重复度的刷怪和打怪。游戏的操作不复杂，并且手感非常丝滑，不过打击感很一般，我觉得给小怪加一个血槽能改善不少。另外清版过关游戏应该很少会有人用到格挡，虽然本作的格挡确实挺无敌的。有一个不太好的地方是本作的压起身判定很奇怪，很容易出现砍空的情况。本作和街机游戏一样，多人游玩会更有趣一些，本作也提供了多人在线模式，玩家可以在多人模式下获得更好的体验。 [h1] 总评 [/h1] 玩法相当传统的清版过关游戏，重玩价值比较低，推荐给能找到好友一起玩的街机游戏爱好者。 [quote]欢迎关注我们的鉴赏家:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402982/]走心评测[/url] ←遵从内心，写出真实感受 欢迎加入我们Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ZXPC]走心评测[/url]←点击加入，一起探索游戏的乐趣 喜欢这篇评论，也麻烦点个赞，让更多人能够看到！[/quote]
